Find a Support Group

VBCF has compiled a list of support groups in Virginia. These support groups are run by hospitals, nonprofits, and other community groups. Please note that meeting dates and times can change so we encourage you to contact the organizer prior to attending. 

Facetoface support groups might not be right for everyone dealing with cancer. For those looking for another option, VBCF has created a list of organizations that offer support from the comfort of your home. Find a Phone or Online Support Group

Covid-19

Due to Covid-19 and social distancing, many support group meetings have been changed or canceled. It is more important than ever to contact the organizers before you attend a meeting. There are also a number of phone and online support groups available until things return to normal.
